According to The Blaze, Ibrahim, 27, delivered in Omdurman women’s prison in Khartoum, Sudan’s capital, though her husband, Daniel Wani, a U.S. citizen, was apparently not welcome in the delivery room, CNN reported. It’s unclear what condition Ibrahim and the baby girl are in, but numerous outlets have noted that she delivered one month early and reports indicate that Wani has been denied access to her since the birth.
This news comes as attorney Mohamed Jar Elnabi continues to fight for his client’s release. Ibrahim’s 20-month-old son has also been staying with her inside the prison, though the child is permitted to leave at will, according to Elabi. The decision to keep the child with his mother was apparently made by Ibrahim and Wani. Wani, who is in a wheelchair, depends on his wife “for all details of his life,” according to Elnabi.
The birth comes after Ibrahim was reportedly given a chance to change her mind and renounce her faith, but she refused and now faces death by hanging, as TheBlaze previously reported. “I am a Christian and I never committed apostasy,” Ibrahim recently told a judge. Local media reports indicate that the death sentence won’t be carried out until two years after the baby’s birth, providing enough time for her to nurse the new child.
On May 16th, following the original death sentence, CNN aired an exclusive interview with Daniel Wani.
